Cohoes senior guard/forward Courtney Galuski, who tied a national girls’ basketball record Jan. 8 by making 15 3-pointers against Schalmont, has been selected for Sports Illustrated’s “Faces in the Crowd” in the January 28th issue that will hit newstands Wednesday.

TAKKLE.com is now showing the video, first run by the Times Union Jan. 14, in their presentation of Galuski’s accomplishment.

The “Faces in the Crowd” segment has been a 50-year tradition in Sports Illustrated.

Galuski is averaging 13.7 points per game and has drained 55 3-pointers — one shy of the school record set by current Cohoes assistant coach Morgan Hytko in the 1999-2000 season and tied for the 13th highest single-season output in Section II history.

Pull her or go for the record? I find it very dissurbing that with a final score of 91-36 any coach would leave any player in just for the sake of breaking a record! What happen to sportsmanship? Its great that we have this kind of talent in the area but to display it in this kind of manner and at the cost of embarressing another team is ashame. I hope the coach accomplished what he wanted to. Congratulations to Courtney and shame on the coach.

Shame on you Skip…were you at the game?
It was a once in a lifetime thing…should that have been sacrificed for the sake of the other team?
How dare you make it more about Schalmont’s embarrassing loss, and not about how special of an event it was for this young athlete and her home crowd. I am sorry that you can only focus on the negative, but I think it was a special thing for the player and also to witness as a fan. Believe me Cohoes runs a classy program and they have a classy coach, If you were there you should know this had nothing to do with beating up on Schalmont. The coach knew what the record was because his daughter held it until that night. So why not let Courtney enjoy it instead of bashing on her or the coach.

His daughter held the record? I think CHS Fan needs to check the record book. The record is impressive, congratulations to Ms.Galuski….but the coach showed no sportmanship, period. That doesn’t diminish the players achievement, she deserves the attention. It was however up to her coach to set a good example, which he failed. No excuses or excitement can change that.

I was talking about the Cohoes High School Record, not the section II record (10-3pts) or the National record (15-3pts). I don’t understand how you can say “the coach showed no sportsmanship”? Please explain this comment? What could he have done differently? How did he set a poor example? Can you give me an example of how he failed as a coach?
He didn’t do anything but coach the game, like he has coached every game! Thanks for your imput though….would it be un-sportsman like of me to say no one gives a crap about what you thought. If so then I am guilty

I am quite sure that you,or anyone else in the crowd that night knew that the national record for 3 point baskets happened to be 15. If you knew anything about coaching you would have a clue about what people were talking about. If the Cohoes 3 point record was at stake, then why wasn’t that good enough? There is a right way to do things as a coach, and contrary to what you think…..It was not done the correct way. You should have concentrated more on how your team could have gotten more three point shots up against Hoosic Valley. Then I would have given a crap about what YOU think.

im with ya hoopfan. Galuski’s 3 point total was more than the schalmont team scored the entire game thats why the coach should be ashamed of himself and acted unsportsman like. Cohoes does NOT run a classy program and the coach is anything but classy. Congrats though to Galuski she earned it!
